CVE-2026-43380 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hwmon: (pmbus/q54sj108a2) fix stack overflow in debugfs read The q54sj108a2_debugfs_read function suffers from a stack buffer overflow due to incorrect arguments passed to bin2hex(). The function currently passes 'data' as the destination and 'data_char' as the source. Because bin2hex() converts each input byte into two hex characters, a 32-byte block read results in 64 bytes of output. Since 'data' is only 34 bytes (I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX + 2), this writes 30 bytes past the end of the buffer onto the stack. Additionally, the arguments were swapped: it was reading from the zero-initialized 'data_char' and writing to 'data', resulting in all-zero output regardless of the actual I2C read. Fix this by: 1. Expanding 'data_char' to 66 bytes to safely hold the hex output. 2. Correcting the bin2hex() argument order and using the actual read count. 3. Using a pointer to select the correct output buffer for the final simple_read_from_buffer call.
A stack buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's hardware monitoring (hwmon) subsystem, specifically within the PMBus driver for the Q54SJ108A2 power supply controller. The issue arises in the 'q54sj108a2_debugfs_read' function, where incorrect argument handling in the 'bin2hex()' function leads to a buffer overflow. The vulnerability allows for 30 bytes of data to be written past the allocated buffer size, potentially overwriting stack memory and causing undefined behavior.
Users can upgrade to the patched version of the Linux kernel available in the official Linux kernel Git repository. Instructions for downloading the latest stable version can be found on the Linux kernel website.
